In your particular case, actually SingTel ONR can be a simpler solution, then you can buy Netgear Orbi mesh solution which support multiple SingTel TV boxes when used together with the SingTel ONR.

1) Contact SingTel to change to change ONT to ONR

2) Buy three pack Netgear Orbi solution and a switch like TP-Link TL-SG105 to have more LAN ports if needed.

3) Follow the guide from Netgear

Case 1: no need good internet in the garage

Garage: FTP- SingTel ONR

Level 1/2/3: Netgear Orbi 353/753/853 depending on budget (router node in Level 1, satellite node in Level 2/3)

SingTel TV boxes connected to the Orbi

Case 2: need good internet in the garage

Garage: FTP- SingTel ONR -- Orbi 354/754/854 main router

Level 1/2/3: Netgear Orbi 354/754/854 satellite nodes depending on budget

SingTel TV boxes connected to the Orbi

Currently Case 1 seems great!
So i just need to purchase
1. Singtel ONR
2. Netgear Orbi solution. 1 Main 2 Sats.

Check i confirm the connection

Garage FTP: Singtel ONR (then i will plug in all the LAN wires to the ONR to distribute the signals to the different levels right?)

Level 1/2/3 Ethernet wall (is this necessary? or it will draw the signal from the main Orbi router) - Orbi - MIO box
AND
Ethernet wall - Orbi - cable - computer.

Is this right? its the usage/availability of the Ethernet Wall that im not too sure about. thanks!

No way to purchase SingTel ONR by yourself. You have to request through SingTel to change your ONT to ONR. Most of the ONT users will not want to do that since ONT users have more flexibility to use their own router as the main router. But your priority seems to be two SingTel TV box support and wireless coverage.

Ethernet backhaul is much better (using Ethernet connection between the main node and the satellite node). And it can save you one node.

If you do not have Ethernet ports in Level 1/2/3, then you need to buy the triband solution RBK754/854 depending on budget.

Garage FTP -- SingTel ONR -- Orbi router mode in AP mode

Level 1: Orbi satellite node -- SingTel TV box
Level 2: Orbi satellite node
Level 3: Orbi Satellite node -- SingTel TV box
